In this video we take a deep dive into the dMix 128 Core Audio driver and its powerful audio routing capabilities, showing how the system seamlessly bridges live sound, multitrack recording, and studio workflows.

The dMix 128 from Violet Audio presents itself to macOS as a high-channel-count Core Audio interface, allowing direct multichannel recording into DAWs such as Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper, and more — without external converters or additional hardware.

We cover:

• How the dMix 128 Core Audio driver works on macOS.
• Multichannel recording directly from the console.
• Flexible input, output, and bus routing inside the dMix software.
• Parallel live mixing and recording with zero workflow compromise.
• Using the dMix 128 as a studio-grade audio interface Monitoring, returns, and playback routing from the DAW back into the mixer.

Designed for live engineers, broadcast, installation, and studio production, the dMix 128’s routing architecture allows you to record clean pre- or post-processing signals while maintaining full control of the live mix. Its low-latency architecture and transparent signal path make it ideal for hybrid live/recording environments.
